(Part of "Da Capo")

~When good old days are passing away~

~Will you promise your heart remains the same~

~Never can we suspend the time~

~Having to leave the tracks behind~

~There is a longer way ahead, after all~

"Khhhk–What the hell!" Who dared barge in on my moment.

She was just about to enter the cocoon of finality before someone yanked her back.

"Are you dumb?" A gruff voice mocked her from behind.

"Wait! I know that voice" she spun around. There he was, decked out in his full Herrscher getup.

"Thor–nii" Ignoring his hold she hugged his waist. "Where have you been I–I thought you didn't want us anymore" Her Voice cracked, tears flowing, soaking his robe.

"There, there my little tuna. I leave for a few years and the whole world goes to shit." He gently stroked her head, then followed by flicking her forehead causing a –boom– behind her.

"Oww, T-Thor-nii! That hurt." She pouted, lips trembling.

He thought. 'She really has gotten stronger.' He mused, one brow arched in amusement.

"Bronya was right. You really are an idiotka." A glint of mischief lit up his gaze.

"Nii-Chan!!" Siren separated herself from Kiana's body and clung to Thor from behind.

"You came out Siren, always so cute huh." He rubbed her cheek against his own prompting a giggle from her.

"Hehehe, Thor–nii, stop that tickles" Sirin's giggles were healing Thor's old soul. He hadn't even seen his adorable Kuudure Griseo for years at this point.

Kiana's nostrils flared seeing Sirin taking all his attention.

"Kiana?" He blinked – She had bit his hand.

'Oh right, she's needy. It's been a while ok.' He went back to patting her and she melted under his touch.

With the two girls no longer doing whatever suicide plan they had. Thor teleported to his St Freya with the two. Also isolating the cocoon for further study.

They appeared in their home's living room, surprising Mei, Bronya, Himeko and both Hua's who were there.

–Silence–

He felt the awkward stares on himself.

"I'm back."

A casual greeting, yet 2 gray hairs jumped him squeezing Kiana between them.

"Thor-nii!!" Bronya held him for dear life, ignoring the idiotka beneath her.

"Kaa–oof" Senti had thrown Kiana towards Mei who promptly caught her, and set her down on the sofa next to her. A serene smile tugging her lips.

Himeko scanned what she could of him before going back to her coffee "Ahhh~"

Hua watched, embarrassed. Senti's actions are technically her actions as well. She peeked, turning redder as she saw where Senti put her hand.

"Alright, alright. Calm down a little. I know you missed me, I'm back now so don't worry." Holding Senti and Bronya he gives each a hug before becoming intangible.

"Thud–Oof—Oww" Sirin fell on top of Bronya who fell on top of Senti.

"Ugh, get off" Senti blasted the two off her causing both to slam into the surrounding walls.

Trapping Mei in places he sweeps her up into his arms, kissing her on the forehead. "What, no welcome back hug? Does little Mei-chan not like her Nii-chan anymore." His eyes shimmered as he made sure to let out a broken chuckle.

"N–no. I–its just t–that… Its embarrassing to do that infront of everyone." Her voice lowered to that of a mosquito towards the end, red-faced pushing her fingers together.

A smile appeared. A bit too quick to be innocent. When she looked up and saw it she knew she had been tricked, backstabbed and quite possibly bamboozled.

And just like that, a family was whole again.

Laughter echoed.

Food vanished.

Hugs, teases, and far too much destruction later.

All courtesy of one very chaotic "Nii-chan."

I enjoyed giving this a shot. I'm trying to shorten the amount of yap I do in stage play and dialogue, and this is the result.

This kind of style is my goal, but it seems chapters may be shorter as the longer they are the worse they become. 

Would you prefer this style, but shorter chapters but more frequent, or much longer chapters, but a bit of jank here and there.

Ciao
